Kinda a prelude to "Keeping It Honest." Sometimes in life living it as a robot is better than experiencing the pain OF life.

The Android's Regret 

* 

When I'm not with you 

I feel like half of me is missing. 

I'm not whole, complete. 

I'm an empty shell waiting to fall. 

* 

When I'm with you 

I'm on top of the world. 

I feel carefree and light as a feather. 

I could conquer the world. 

* 

When I'm coming to see you 

I feel this overwhelming excitement. 

I can't get there fast enough. 

Time crawls at a snail's pace. 

* 

When I leave you 

I feel like I loved on borrowed time. 

Like it was special only to me. 

You bided your time until you could escape. 

* 

Nothing is the way it was. 

I'm not upset about that. 

What worries me is something more. 

Something I can't deal with. 

* 

You make it seem like 

there's nothing you want from me. 

Like our time has come and gone. 

I'm a “thing” of the past. 

* 

You fail to understand one key fact. 

I'm a person with feelings and emotions. 

You took the robot and made her human. 

There are times now when I wish you hadn't.
